Grand Unity Dao Fruit

Li Fan learned from Goddess Wangshu about the current situation in the Primordial World. The four major factions maintained a delicate balance; the present situation was like sitting atop a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

Li Fan stood with the Five Divine Emperors. The Three Emperors and Five Elder Lords could be ignored for now, but the conflict with the Five Divine Beast Clans was steadily deepening.

In a clash between peak powers, the Five Divine Emperors and the Five Divine Beast Clans were bound to fight sooner or later. It was a struggle for fate; neither side could afford to yield.

Although the Five Divine Beasts collectively fell apart in the next Dao-Demon Era, they defeated the Five Divine Emperors in this God-Demon Era.

There was strength in numbers, but too many gods could also cause trouble.

Whenever Li Fan thought about how the Dragon Clan alone had several Great Luos, his scalp went numb.

Li Fan returned to his cave abode and prepared to enter seclusion. With the Moon Laurel Tree branch, he was highly confident that he could raise the Lunar Law to the Venerable God Realm as well.

Cultivating the Law of World had one advantage: as long as one successfully opened a world, their law cultivation would naturally improve as that world evolved. The drawback was that it would be very, very slow.

That was when external assistance was needed. With the Moon Laurel Tree branch, half an era later, Li Fan had cultivated the Lunar Law to the Venerable God Realm.

Li Fan felt terrifyingly powerful now—Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Five Qi Ascending to the Origin.

His essence, qi, and spirit had all reached perfection. The Venerable God Realm was broadly divided; the gap between its weakest and strongest practitioners was equivalent to the gap between Later Generations' Taiyi Golden Immortals and Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Li Fan's strength was equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm in Later Generations. His body, mana, and primordial spirit had all reached perfection.

Ever since Li Fan had transmigrated into the Prehistoric Universe, his cultivation speed had been extraordinarily fast. Even he was quite satisfied with it.

The next step was to resolve the issue with his origin and charge toward the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

Li Fan could now slowly recover as well, but time waited for no one. Without attaining the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, he would have no voice and would never make it onto the stage.

Having transmigrated into the Prehistoric Universe, he also wanted to leave behind a legend of his own—to attain the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit, remain indestructible through countless tribulations, and be untouched by all karmic ties.

This time, he would cultivate several more divine abilities and perfect his sword dao.

A hundred thousand years passed, and Li Fan devised a set of combat techniques. When facing an enemy, he would use divine abilities and the Great World Technique to create an illusory Minor World, trapping his opponent within.

Then, wielding swords in both hands, he would use Sword Dao Divine Ability to unleash Star Law and Lunar Law in relentless attacks, before using the Great Samsara Technique to destroy the corpse and erase all traces—a complete one-stop service.

This seclusion caused quite a commotion. Even his cave abode collapsed.

Out with the old, in with the new. The Taiyin Star was wonderful, but it already had an owner. There were so many blessed lands in the Primordial World. Although most were still gestating, he would surely find one that suited him.

Li Fan wanted to find the legendary Five Immortal Islands of the Sea and establish his own dao field there. Legend had it that the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, was located within those islands.

This divine treasure would later be obtained by Hongjun. After he became a Saint and passed it down, it eventually found its way into the hands of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth and an outer disciple of the Saint's sect. During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, it was taken by Buddha Randeng and later shone brilliantly.

The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl could evolve worlds. It was the Innate Spiritual Treasure best suited to Li Fan. If he could obtain it, his dao would be complete.

Moreover, the five immortal islands held other treasures as well. If he could find them, Li Fan felt that he would become wealthier than Goddess Wangshu.

Traveling, traveling—wealth and honor were sought amid danger.

First, he would seek out Goddess Wangshu and learn about the East Sea. Know oneself and know the enemy, and one would never be defeated in a hundred battles.

Goddess Wangshu was always seated quietly beneath the Moon Laurel Tree, possessed of a tranquil beauty.

Wangshu said, "You've emerged from seclusion. Your cultivation speed is quite fast."

Li Fan looked smug. "This seclusion brought great gains. The Lunar Law has also reached the Venerable God Realm. Great Goddess, don't you get bored sitting beneath the Moon Laurel Tree all the time?"

Wangshu smiled. "Not at all. While you were in seclusion, I watched quite a show. Let me tell you about it."

"The Innate Deity, Thunder God Leize, publicly announced that he was joining the Dragon Clan. He originally belonged to the Heavenly Emperor's faction. People from the Divine Court all went to Leize to persuade him not to lose his mind and join the Dragon Clan."

"The Earth Emperor and Human Emperor sent representatives, the Grand Unity Venerable Gods Zunlu Clan and Xuxu Clan. The two wanted Leize to join the Earthly Dao Divine Kingdom and the Human Dao Hall of Heroes."

"The people under the Three Emperors were indeed very sincere."

"Both Zunlu Clan and Xuxu Clan produced mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, but in the end, Leize still chose to join the Dragon Clan. I don't know what he was thinking, but I do know that this time, he offended the Three Emperors' faction."

"The gods of the Primordial World look down on the Divine Beast Clans. Those clans have turned the Prehistoric Universe into a complete mess, and the divine beasts beneath them are nothing but a motley rabble."

"Furthermore, a large portion of newly born divine beasts are already born with divine offices. Divine offices in the Primordial World are limited, yet all beings continue multiplying without end, and Houtian Beings are increasing sharply."

"The Dragon Clan's strength has been growing continuously. Ancestor Dragon is a Great Divine Powers, while Dragon Mother, Candle Dragon, and the newly joined Leize are all Grand Unity Venerable Gods."

Li Fan said seriously, "The Five Divine Beast Clans led by the Dragon Clan are beginning to stir. Goddess Wangshu, you should be more vigilant."

Goddess Wangshu looked utterly confident. "Don't worry. The Dragon Clan cannot turn the heavens upside down."

Treating others sincerely, Goddess Wangshu had always taken great care of Li Fan. Though a large part of the reason was that Li Fan had been born on the Taiyin Star.

Sincerity was the ultimate weapon. Li Fan also needed allies in this Prehistoric Universe; they shared the same ideals.

Even Great God Hongjun had his own four-man group, which would shine brilliantly in the Dao-Demon Era of Later Generations, though the final outcome would be—better a dead dao companion than a dead poor daoist.

Li Fan believed in joining if he could not win. Goddess Wangshu suited his tastes very well, and the two got along.

Li Fan asked curiously, "Goddess Wangshu, I've reached perfection in the Venerable God Realm. Can you tell me about the might of the Grand Unity Dao Fruit in the Prehistoric Universe?"

Wangshu said, "The Grand Unity Dao Fruit unites the past, present, and future selves. Great Luos know all and understand all."

"But there are many Great Luos now, and they interfere with one another. What you see may not be real, but beneath Great Luo, all are ants."

"Once you leave the Taiyin Star Domain, show Grand Unity Venerable Gods more respect. The moment you speak ill of a Great Luo, those above Great Luo will know."

"In battles between Great Luos, sealing is what they fear most. Even if killed by an opponent of the same level, they will return one day after endless ages. If all beings continue to remember them, their return will be even faster."

"If you kill a Great Luo, you can steal his Grand Unity Dao Fruit. Of course, that is a lesser form of God Merged with Dao."

Wangshu's expression turned solemn. "Do not let your dao taint another person's Dao Fruit, Li Fan. Don't do such a thing. One day, you may not even know whether you are still yourself. It is irreversible. What belongs to others will always belong to others. This is an evil ritual."

"Work hard. Perhaps one day, you'll break through to Great Luo. I have faith in you."

Li Fan looked eager. "Goddess Wangshu, don't worry. Maybe when I return from this journey, I'll already be a Great Luo and give you a surprise."

"Goddess Wangshu, I want to train in the East Sea and see what the Dragon Clan is like. The sea is safer than the Primordial World's land, right?"

Wangshu said softly, "Go. The Chaos Demon Gods have been fairly quiet lately. I'll send word to the Dragon Clan. Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of it either."

Five Immortal Islands of the Sea, here I come.
